Conditions Valley City State University places on CLEP credit
Valley City State publishes no CLEP chart of its own. The scores and credit amounts shown here are set by the North Dakota University System's Credit-by-Exam chart, which every NDUS institution must use, rather than published by the college itself. Where that chart gives a credit range rather than a single figure the campus decides the exact amount, so those exams show the required score and no credit figure. A college that does not teach the matching course may award elective credit instead. Exams missing from the chart are not refused — the college may still award credit for them, so ask the registrar.
